Doping Allegations

He was suspended for doping violations from September 18, 2000 to September 17, 2002.[1]

On September 4, 2008, it was reported that Devyatovskiy and the bronze medalist from the Olympics, fellow Belarusian Ivan Tsikhan, are under investigation by International Olympic Committee for doping offenses. In December 2008, the IOC ruled him guilty of doping and took away his medal.[2] Since Devyatovskiy has been suspended once previously for doping offenses, he now faces a lifetime ban from the sport.[3] He has appealed the IOC's findings to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.[4]
